They also said they were hiring 520 this year and haven't hired a single person yet this year, so the math checks out with the 400 attendees.

The lack of hiring so far is due to the need for upgrades during the first part of this year, or so I remember.

I also think they are still working last year’s end of year hires through training. I wonder how all the ETOPS training demand will impact new hire training since it’s timing has been a moving target.

December's class finished IOE early in February. December thru April they are only running one class of new hires per month. Not so much because of ETOPS, but to accommodate three upgrade classes per month during that same timeframe.

I'm mil. For very rough numbers, it looked like the expo's afternoon session was about half military.

Still holding at "review in progress" since the 19th.


This is my first time applying, but does "Closed complete" mean TBNT? Seems like a couple people on the RST page are getting those and not happy.
